The Workshop is primarily intended for robotics researchers, and the theme of Roboethics is analyzed and discussed from a perspective that could be interesting and useful for researchers developing new robotic machines, in their different forms.

However, because the subject is to be developed from a cross-cultural point of view, the workshop is open – and its Committee strongly encourages - to the participation of researchers from other communities, both in science and humanities.

This has also provided the robotics researchers with a wide-range cultural exchange, especially important in the perspective of educating young roboticists to interdisciplinarity among technical disciplines and to transdisciplinarity among engineering, life science and humanities.
